SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The vm_map_inherit() function sets the inheritance flags for the range
start to end within the target map to the value new_inheritance.
The new_inheritance flag must have one of the values VM_INHERIT_NONE,
VM_INHERIT_COPY, or VM_INHERIT_SHARE. This affects how the map will be
shared with child maps when the associated process forks.

IMPLEMENTATIONNOTES

The vm_map_inherit() function obtains a lock on the map using
vm_map_lock(9) for the duration of the function.

RETURNVALUES

The vm_map_inherit() function returns KERN_SUCCESS if the inheritance
flags could be set. Otherwise, if the provided flags were invalid,
KERN_INVALID_ARGUMENT will be returned.
